Botanical Coconut-Soy vs Paraffin: Why Wax Choice Matters

Paraffin wax is a petroleum byproduct commonly used in commercial candles because it is inexpensive to manufacture in mass quantities.

When burned, paraffin can produce heavy black soot and chemical residue that coats glassware, walls, and home surfaces.

At Ayzana, we pour 100% botanical coconut-soy wax. It is renewable, completely biodegradable, and burns at a gentler, cooler temperature. This clean burn ensures no black soot and helps each candle burn up to 40% longer.
